The Street Deputy was busy last night.....what? Oh yeah, sorry. Got rid of those
- Chicago police shot a man who turned toward them with a gun while running early Saturday morning, according to officials, one of two overnight shooting incidents that involved officers.
Police tried to stop the man they eventually shot, along with two others, while they were walking on Marquette Boulevard west of Western Avenue in the West Englewood neighborhood on the South Side.
[...] While running, the man swung his arm back, police said, while holding a 9-millimeter pistol in his hand, and police opened fire.
And up north:
- Earlier on the north side, a man shot up a police car near Sunnyside Avenue and Broadway after a brief foot pursuit, police said. Police returned fire but nobody was wounded in the exchange.
Police, patrolling an area near a shooting last week, tried to stop a man they recognized who was walking with two others. Police gave chase as the wanted man and the two others split up.
One of the men stopped, stepped into a combat shooting stance, and shot at the police car that was chasing him. He emptied his revolver, according to police, and continued running.
When police did catch him, he quickly dropped the gun and gave up, police said.
No police hurt. Watch yourselves.
